Jersey is a knitted very slightly stretchy fabric with a smooth flat face and a more textured but uniform back. It is what basic t-shirts are made of. This one is a nice weight, with a very usable width of 60".

I was having a hard time finding cotton jersey all the fabric was either too thin or was a poly blend. A friend had told me about Dharma Trading so I gave them a try ordering 4 yards to make an Alabama Chanin skirt. This fabric felt great and took the dye very nicely. I will recommend this fabric to friends

very comfortable stretch to the fabric takes dyes great but needs to be washed a few times to get a softer jersey feel. straight out of the bag its a little scratchy easily remedied however.

Not bad cotton single knit - somewhat coarse better after washing - takes the dye fine - did shrink up after the initial wash maybe a couple of inches per yard so wash before cutting. Wish Dharma would also carry a combed single cotton knit.

HAVE PURCHASED THIS TYPE OF FABRIC FOR YRS. THE ONE YOU SELL IS A VERY GOOD QUALITY NOT SOAKED IN STARCHES SO IT SHRINKS TOO MUCH & THE FINISHED FABRIC ENDS UP WITH A NICE CLOSE WEAVE OF GOOD QUALITY.

Came out of initial wash nice and soft like thick tee-shirt fabric. I think it will be opaque enough for yoga pants once it's dyed. This will be fun to dye and paint

This is a very sturdy piece of fabric. It dyes very well and is easy to work with. I use it as a base layer for alabama chanin style garments. It is not super soft even with fabric softener. But I like the sturdiness of it. It obviously softens up with multiple washings but it takes time. Honestly if I'm going to spend that much time sewing something I want it to last. This fabric will last.

I LOVE this jersey. I've made 7 dresses 4 jackets 5 skirts and 2 pairs of pants. They've worn well and held their shape for the last 2 years. The fabric takes well to the Procion dyes.
